I am not sure that is correct. My understanding from speaking with someone at the DPS last week, they don't start BG check until everything is in. I applied online and got fingerprinted in late November and didn't take the LTC class until January 4th. I had assumed that the process would have gone faster doing it my way, but my experience has proven otherwise.switch wrote:My understanding is DPS starts your background check as soon as they get your fingerprints. If an applicant has budgeting or scheduling problems, I recommend he go ahead and apply before class. If he waits a month of so to take the class, it probably will not have much affect on how soon he gets his LTC. DPS will be through w/the background check and ready to issue.
If he plans on taking the class in the next week, the order is not as important. It should have much effect either, what's a couple of days? It will probably be 3 to 5 days before he can get printed.
Course, I have 'heard' that it may depend on whose desk your app lands on. If you examiner happens to go on vacation, sick, gets detailed out or quits, it can take awhile for your app to get reassigned. :(
